Hello everyone, this is related to my desktop and I am having problems identifying the problem.
For a start, here's my specs if it helps anyone:
mb: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 - Intel X58
cpu: Intel Core i7-920, 2.66 GHz
ram: Corsair 4x2GB DDR3 1333 MHz XMS3 9-9-9-24
vga: ATI Gigabyte HD5850 1GB GDDR5
psu: Enermax MODU82+ 625W
system hdd: Samsung SpinPoint F1, HD322HJ, 320GB
data hdd: WD RE4 Raid edition, 1TB (new one bought week ago)
The pc has been put together by me 3 years ago and it was working perfectly fine without any issues until now.
Simply put, my problem is that the pc does not want to boot at all, the onboard power button is glowing and when I press it / or the one on case, the LEDs everywhere start glowing and then it all dies, no response at all, fans doesn't even start working and there is no sign of activity (not even beep code).
It started doing this when I bought new 1TB hdd and connected it. The pc refused to start just like it does now. That time I solved it by switching PSU cables, because I thought the cable could be faulty or something. When I did that the thing started working again and I thought the cable was at fault. But yesterday I turned off the pc and from that time It doesnt want to start.
Here's what I have tried so far:
1) removing all components except graphic card and ram to test if it will boot, it actually did boot once (but since I had no hdds connected I turned it off and put system hdd inside, pressed power button and the problem was back. Now it won't boot even without the hdd.
2) tried all extra PSU cables / sata cables I have, no luck.
3) removed all external hardware and tried to connect and boot the pc in other rooms to make sure the problem isn't in my power outlet or something
well that's all. Only thing left to do is to disassemble whole pc, clean all parts and put it together again but I didn't want to do that without asking here first.
My suspect no.1 in this case is faulty PSU, what do you guys think?
